FORFEITURE FOR Usvry.—The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of October 25 says: “The decision in the Supreme Court of th United States in the ease of the Farmers’ aud Mechanics’ National Bank of Buffalo against Ps C. Dearing bas an important bearing relative to the usury laws of this state and in the Unite States. The old stat- utes of this state provide that c portions or persons charging more than legal fnterest shall be liable to forfeit the principal and in- terest of the sum in question, and the Court cf Appeais so held in this case. The va. tional banking aw, however, says that such person shall forfeit the interest in excess of the legal rate only, aud as the Farmers and Mechanics’ bank was doiog business under this law it was able to carry this case to the United States court and obtain a re- versal of the state court's decision. This does not, however, give any advantage to the hélional banks over the state banks in this state. By special act passed by the legisla- ture of New York April %, 1375, (chap. 163,) the New York state banks ‘are placed on an equality with national banks In regard to the question of usury. If the state banks lake more than seven per cent. the forfeiture will be Ube same as with national banks. The decision of the United States Supreme Court applies, therefore, to the state as weil the national banks.” THE MISSING MR. Ponp. in Hamilton, ment to the effect tha’ W.

A WORD FOR THE CATHOLICS. At the close of the services Mr. Moody | Went to the reporters and expressed his re- | egret that any one had been so ill-advised and sectarian as to use the name of Roman Catholic as it had been used by one or two Tmen asking for prayers for friends of tnat religion. “They used the word as though it were opprobrious, and were very narrow- spirited in doing'so. Why, there are as many Roman Catholics who are Christians as there are of other denominations, and those men had no business to lamp the term in the way they did.” At the night meeting Mooly delivered a | powerful sermon, from which We make Unis extract: TELLING A STORY. nmy own family, when I was a boy ouly four years, my father died, and te becuuse misfortunes never come singly, my mother grew sick, and a little later her eldest son ran away from bome. That was a blow Urat almost killed bis mother, but in time she grew strong and well, though there was a hungry look in her eyes that was never satisfied. She used to talk with her chil- dren for bours about their father, but when sbe spok she wept that be was in sickoess or in és ager, and would have been glad to know that he was dead. Not aday that she did not pray tor him; not a child that was left to her so dear as the one that was lost; nota feast day in the year that a vacant chair was not placed for him at the table, and nota day that her dim eyes did not look anxiously down the road.” Yet she saw nothing. At last, one summer afternoon, after her hair iad been gray lor years, She was silting on Une eactera great ng through the orchard toward her.

The singers—the Christians—were brilliant and aggressive, and the conquered sinners joined in the pean, bat with heads bowed and with wet cheeks. Staaza after stanza and chorus after chorus was rolled ont, each one louder than before, as the a poured through the doors. Then other hymns were suag. Earlier in the evening Moody hai twice shown his power over his audience. Once a man with lungs larger and stronger than Sankey’s cried out, “Glory be to Gol,” and the preacher, to the surprise of the startled house, said ‘earnestly, “1 thank you, my friend, for that ery.
